Woodhall Spa is a hub of activity year round, with plenty on offer for visitors and locals alike.

The beautiful village located on the outskirts of the Lincolnshire wolds has a little something for everyone. It is well-known for celebrating its wonderful history, such as in the upcoming 1940s festival.

Organised by a team of volunteers, the festival is held every year and draws in exhibitors and re-enactors from across the county.

The festival boasts both vintage and military vehicles, a market, concerts, dances, charity stands and a Battle of Britain memorial flight.

The festival this year takes place on July 13 and 14 and is sure to attract big crowds - as it is free to enter. It is hosted in numerous venues across the village over the weekend.

The 40s festival is not the only thing on offer in Woodhall Spa, however. Visitors can always visit Jubilee Park.

The park's pool opens on April 6 and the caravan site opens a day earlier, on April 5. In the meantime, the park has a refurbished play park, with new equipment installed in 2017. Kids can now play on the swings, slide or climbing frame on the outskirts of the park.

Other facilities on offer include a putting green, games hut, bowling green, café, bandstand and croquet lawn. The park is an extremely popular spot - especially when the sun comes out.

As soon as the open air pool does open, will host swimming lessons every day throughout the summer season. It is heated to 29 degrees - making it the perfect summer hang out. The pool is also available for private hire for children's parties and family get-togethers.

Another must-visit is the famous Dambusters Memorial, a fitting tribute to our war heroes. The memorial is located just off Witham Road, in the heart of Woodhall Spa.
